Hello.

Thanks for reviewing my profile. Please comment on my chances at a top 10 US MBA program or one of the top Canadian Schools.

- Profile: Canadian (Born in Afghanistan. Came to Canada at 10 years old) / Male 29
- Education: Undergraduate Electrical Engineering. University of British Columbia. Average 76%
- GMAT: 740 (Q49 V42) AWA 5
- Work Experience: 5 Years R&D engineer, developed electrical products for heavy industrial applications (oil&gas, utility, mines). Work experience includes complete development of products (very small engineering team) and managing/training small group of technicians in manufacturing and Q/A roles.
- Extracurricular activity - Sports for fun, but no volunteer experience.
- Recommendations: would get good recommendations from managers/company owners.

I would greatly appreciate any comments on my profile, as my chances at a top school will effect my decision in pursuing an MBA and asking my managers for a recommendation.

Well very briefly, I would say your sweet spot is top schools out of the top five, which you COULD apply to and have some chances at, but lack of leadership and grades in undergrad might put you at a disadvantage there. Otherwise: the world is your oyster (and you can thank your excellent GMAT for that). You do have to set yourself a nice reasonable application strategy though, applying to a a good mix of schools that will leave you with at least an admit to some school that will help you fulfill your dreams.
